How we should speak to guitarists.....
- Thread starter WI Short Scaler
- Start date
I like microtones, I'll try that with my guitarist.
I would speak to our guitarist but he wouldn't be able to hear me over the excellence of his fortissimo passages.
The Gb hits very close to home. Most guitarists I know have serious trouble with flat keys.
Hi WI Short Scaler 
When you hear him performing, you have to get a louder amp!

Slowly, usually using words with 4 letters.

'To'...maybe, it gets difficult when attempting the 'with'.
( Sorry, I had to...)
We could say the tritone of C instead of Gb to even more confuse guitarists.
I wouldn't try any of this crap with my guitar player. He reads well enough to play classical pieces and was a studio player in Nashville many years ago. He still can be a bit of a prima donna.
Have Huey Lewis say this to the guitarist.................
Yeah, slowly and no big words. Hire a spokesmodel to deliver the message of “playing at a lower volume, in tune and in time, gets me so hot....”
"Dude, that's where I stand. Please move your awesome Line6 Spider over. BTW, the metal tones you're getting out of that thing rule!"
What's up with that anyways? I've played with a few in Eb and they'd insist it's D#. You almost *never* see this in standard notation, but then again a vast majority of guitar players can't read music either
